What travelers are saying
- coolmammaa1,842 contributions4 starts bc it could be half of the price. $20 is more than enough
There is a restaurant on the top, which they recommend reservations
The views are stunningWritten August 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - xml167New York City, NY88 contributionsOld Town Cafe was a great lunch stop (recommend the green chile cheese burger and the Dole soft serve frozen concoction). Great spice store nearby, too! Lots of shopping but not what I was in to...I'd thought Old Town would be bigger.Written August 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- gingerb714Colbert25 contributionsThis was a well-organized and clean museum with creative displays and a decent film experience.
We went with our son, and he loved it—frankly, my husband and I finished the exhibits before our young college-aged son did, because he loved each section of this exhibition. Geared towards folks with an interest in history and science…those of an artistic bent would not be as entertained.Written August 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Very interesting petroglyphs start about 3/4 of a mile in, easy walking trail.Written August 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- coolmammaa1,842 contributionsIt is very interesting but extremely small
You can probably see everything in 1h30
The restaurant was below my expectations. Everyone was friendly but the food had a very strong taste ( not spicy just strong)Written August 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There are so many festivities before the actual event. If you are in Albuquerque in late October you should definitely attend.Written August 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- deboraflowersNew York City, NY152 contributionsThe ABQ BioPark Botanic Garden is a favorite spot for families. I thought it would only have desert plants, but brace yourself for the diversity that this botanic garden shows.Written June 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Brandon WKeene, NH20 contributionsLarge enclosures for animals and lovely layout. Free roaming peacocks made for a fun time. I'd definitely recommend grabbing a map at the front so you don't get lost lol. Huge park in the center filled with different types of birds where families had picnics and birthday parties.Written July 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Some great dinosaur stuff, which was my motivation for visiting. Fossils, murals, reconstructions representing the varied life that existed in NM. There was a nice room of art pertaining to mammals and mineral cases as well. I would give about 90 minutes for a visit.Written August 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
